...How about this J.D. Hayworth? Is he OK or a bum?<br /><br />The thing is that Trump, not to mention other recent history, throws all these calculations out of whack. McCain has been rotting for decades, yes, but who could have thought that not just he but other Republicans wouldn't back the President? Apparently President Trump is not entitled to expect loyalty of his Administration, much less the other branches, but perhaps voters can ask on his behalf.<br /><br />Eventually the question will be who can better progress President Trump's agenda, GOP or Dems?

And Rosenstein comes out and says that if, when investigating what he's already investigating, Mueller encounters something new and then wants to investigate that, he can move on to that next thing. He won't have been "fishing" for anything. He just ran into it. He may need to come back to Rosenstein if it's anything that goes beyond what Rosenstein and Mueller already have an understanding about, but Rosenstein could then give him the authorization, just like Ken Starr had to come back and get more authorization as his investigation moved along. So the fact that it's not a fishing expedition isn't a safeguard against an expanding investigation. <br /><br />And who knows what the understanding is between Rosenstein and Mueller.
